SAP BW - Can we change the query priority?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is there any way to change the priority of the query request Power BI sends to SAP BW? I’m having SAP BW time out on me because a SAP BW setting that limits high priority calls to a shorter window than what would allow my query to run. If I could send the query as non high priority, it would give SAP BW enough time to run. However, I cannot find a setting in either Power BI desktop or the Power BI service or On Prem Data Gateway to do so.

Thanks, Scott

HI @Anonymous,

Nope, power bi seems not contains any feature to setting priority of query, maybe you can try to increase its timeout parameter at sap bw side:

Thanks for confirming, @v-shex-msft. I will submit this as a feature request, since at least in my use cases, it would help to lower the priority in some instances.

Best,

Scott
